MPhil in Law

at University of Oxford

The MPhil in Law is a one-year research master’s degree during which you will write a dissertation. The course can either serve as a qualification in its own right or a route into the DPhil in Law.Prior to 2018-19, the MPhil was exclusively for students who had completed the BCL, Magister Juris, or MSc in Law and Finance and students who had not first completed these degrees were instead admitted to the MSt in Legal Research. From 2018-19, the restrictions on MPhil admission were removed, so all suitably qualified graduates were eligible for admission, and the MSt was absorbed into the MPhil.
